MEANT TO BE 3 (Forever's Not Enough - GirlxGirl)

CONFLICT

MUSIC : Never My Love

"Good morning, Ma..." Angel still a little sleepy, gave her Mama a peck on the cheek. She sat down and reached for the box of cereals. Chix hand her over the bottle of milk. " Thanks..." she said. "Why are you up so early? You slept late. You should get enough sleep. You're not doing anything, anyway . You're on vacation." says Chix.

" I don't know...I just felt like getting up. Maybe later, i'll go back to sleep. Mamu here still?" asked Angel. " She went ahead. You know her...She's always early going to work. " Chix said. " When is grandma coming home? I miss her..." asked Angel. " You know how she missed Bakersfield a lot. So, if you're asking me when is she gonna come home, I have no idea. Let her be... She's old, and life is short. Let her enjoy life. " says Chix. "Amen..." answered Angel. They both laughed.

"Anyway, how's your date with Sunny last night?" Chix tried to sound casual. Angel gave her a surprised look. " What?! What do you mean date? It's Sunny, Ma. " Angel cleared her throat. She didn't expect to hear that. Chix took a deep breath. She took a sip of coffee, then she said..." I don't know if it was just an optical illusion...Maybe not...I know I can see clearly, I have 20/20 vision. So, I think what I saw last night was real and clear. " Chix looked at Angel seriously. Angel's chest was pounding. She knows what her Mama's talking about, but she pretended to be clueless. " What's this all about , Ma? " she asked. " Maybe you should tell me what it's all about. What's going on? Am I missing something?" Angel let out a sigh. She's not gonna win this "going around the bush" thing with her Mama.

"Ma...I'm a little confused at this point..." Now, Angel's talking...

"Finally, you're opening up. That's good, because I really want to be enlightened. You're confused? About what, baby?" Chix asked her daughter.

"MA... I THINK I HAVE AN IDENTITY CRISIS...I FEEL SO DIFFERENT LATELY...SOMETHING'S GOING ON WITH ME..." Angel looked down. She felt a little embarrassed admitting this.

"Hey...look at me straight in the eye..." Chix said. She held Angel's hand. Angel lift her head, and looked at her Mama. " IS THIS ABOUT SUNNY, AND WHAT I SAW LAST NIGHT? I SAW THE TWO OF YOU, ALMOST KISSING EACH OTHER. AND I SWEAR, IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A FRIENDLY KISS TO ME, THOUGH IT DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN. " says Chix. "Oh my God... she saw us! Oh, Sunny...this is really awkward..." Angel was telling herself. She took a deep breath. She needs to talk this out with her Mama.

"Ma, you know me too well. For the longest time, I have never entertained any guy suitor because I just wanted to concentrate on my studies. And really, I don't feel like having a boyfriend for some reason I don't know why. Maybe I just don't like it. That simple. Me and Sunny are bestfriends for how many years. We're like sisters . That's how we treat each other since we were kids. BUT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I SAW HER THE FIRST TIME AFTER TEN YEARS... THAT NIGHT WHEN I SAW HER AT THE BAR, I WAS SHOCKED SEEING A DIFFERENT SUNNY. SHE'S A TOM. THAT WAS REALLY SOMETHING...BUT, I WAS MORE SURPRISED OF MYSELF LOOKING AT HER IN A DIFFERENT WAY. WHEN OUR EYES MET, I SWEAR I FELT SOMETHING ODD. I HAD GOOSEBUMPS, AND I KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. NOT JUST A SISTERLY KIND OF FEELING. AND THOSE FEW TIMES WE WENT OUT TOGETHER, AND EVEN LAST NIGHT, IT GAVE ME A NICE, WARM FEELING BEING WITH HER. I FEEL SO SECURED WHENEVER I'M WITH HER, AND I KNOW IT'S NOT PLATONIC, MA...AND NOW BECAUSE OF THAT, I'M CONFUSED. I THINK I LIKE HER MORE THAN A FRIEND. DOES THAT MAKE ME A LESBIAN, MA? OH MY GOD, WHAT AM I SAYING? AM I IN DEEP TROUBLE NOW FEELING THIS WAY? ARE YOU UPSET HEARING THIS FROM ME?" Angel felt bad. She looked away.
